I grew up with video games and sci fi, soundscape and multi-media. Different pieces add together, figuring out the computer, etc., so the sound of your music incorporates what you express and how you can interact with your equipment and understand the software interface to do so.

Music Background & Credentials
Audio Engineering and Production, Pacific Audio Visual Institute, BC Sept 2010.
Professional Experience
I have spent time working on other's music as a recording or mixing engineer. I have also done work on audio and video editing for various individuals and companies.
Teaching & Other Details
I think it helps to understand what the musical sound is doing inside the computer, in math and physics, in the air, in the breath. Electronic music, since it's on the computer, needs an approach, like another instrument needs posture and discipline. Get up for breaks, have aspects of performance or work standing, or otherwise be relaxed and hydrated. My teaching approach is not about topping the charts.
Availability
Evenings mostly, might be flexible depending on day.
Preferred Teaching Place
Zoom. At a place in Vancouver. At the library. Students might best learn their own software on their own systems, so when practicing they are "at home"

Brendan is a wonderful instructor and is willing to go the extra mile to help you reach your goals. I went in knowing nothing about synthesizers, and Brendan researched my particular instruments to help me get the most out of them. He possesses a breadth of knowledge that I feel I only skimmed the surface of. I definitely recommend him as an instructor and look forward to continuing lessons with him in the future.

Brenden is an excellent teacher in the area of Audio & Visual production, and has a vast knowledge of most digital recording systems, as well is patient and detailed in his explanations of exactly how these systems work. I would highly recommend Brenden as a coach, mentor and teacher. I am a professional musician as well and have logged many hours in the recording studio as a producer, so I have worked with some very good engineers over the years. Brenden had a vast array of knowledge in the digital audio visual recording realm and I would highly recommend him to assist you with learning how to record with DAW, Audio Engineer and/or assist with producing your music and/or music video.
